Properties of the vitamins for use during pregnancy

Some of its most prominent functions are that it contributes to:

• The maintenance of healthy bones, an effect attributed to vitamin K.
• The maintenance of healthy skin, an effect attributed to vitamin B2.
• The growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy, an effect attributed to folates.
• The normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, an effect attributed to iron.
• Normal thyroid function, an effect attributed to selenium.

With vegan DHA. A key nutrient

In addition to all the vitamins and minerals of renowned quality that make up the Prenatal Care (Iodine-Free), its citicoline, and its standardised Tagetes extract, this multivitamin-multivimineral stands out for a key nutrient of use during pregnancy:

All pregnant woman will have heard of DHA, as all doctors recommend its use due to the important nutritional properties it has. DHA is the final omega-3 of the entire ALA and EPA metabolism chain.

During pregnancy, DHA intake, which is important in itself, is also essential for the child, as:

• Maternal intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contributes to the normal development of the eyes of the foetus and infants¹.

Why buy HSN's Prenatal Care (Iodine-Free)?

Prenatal Care (Iodine-Free) is the definitive supplement to obtain the micronutrients required during pregnancy.

Premium compounds

Prenatal Care (Iodine-Free) has been developed with the best forms of vitamins and minerals, including:

• Methylated vitamins (such as Methyl-B9 or Methyl-B12). These are active forms, which don't require transformation processes, meaning they're more efficient.
• Forms of greater absorption (such as Vitamin D3, not D2). This form has been shown in scientific studies to be, at equal doses, more effective as a vitamin D presentation.
• Completely safe nutrients (such as Beta-Carotene). Precursor form of Vitamin A, needed for the health of both mother and child, but dangerous in large quantities during pregnancy. Beta-carotene is the form recommended by medical experts as it is completely safe.
• Citicoline or CDP-Choline, food science's most recognised way of providing Choline. No choline bitartrates!
• Chelated minerals (such as iron (Ferrochel™), zinc (Albion™ Minerals), and copper). All of them in chelated bisglycinate presentations.

Iodine-Free. Compatible with all types of diets

During pregnancy, especially in cases where the pregnant woman has required prior medical consultation regarding the thyroid gland, a doctor may recommend following a low iodine diet.

Prenatal Care does not cure, treat, or prevent diseases, so it's recommended you consult your doctor prior to use in case of any condition that requires attention by a specialist.

Calendula Extract: Concentrated and Standardised

Calendula or Tagetes, is a recognised plant because its flowers contain a good concentration of xanthophylls, such as lutein and zeaxanthin.

This is why calendula is used as a dietary supplement, as it enriches daily nutrition. However, it needs to be presented in the form of an extract so that the concentration of its nutrients is adequate to complement the diet.
